The
scientifically unsustainable theories of global warming are bad enough
without the ecoalarmists who fabricated the myth in order to justify
oil price gouging by the oil barons to curb the demand for oil. Oil
company-financed ecoalarmists now offer "solutions" to a global problem
that simply doesn't exist. Environmentalists are now using computer
modeling to find hypothetical solutions to the hypothetical problem
of global warming. What is the problem in their view? Planet Earth is
a carbon dioxide junkie. The ecoalarmists believe that, just on the
off-chance that their computer models are correct, science needs to
have a global warming methadone fix ready to protect the world from
its inhabitants.

Unfortunately
for the world and its population, the ecoalarmists—who are financed
by men with the monetary resources and political power to implement
environmental change on a global scale even if they can't convince the
world a problem actually exists—have been convinced that man-produced
carbon dioxide is the culprit that causes global warming. Environmentalists
like former Vice President Al Gore, Jr. don't understand, or care, that
carbon dioxide is the substance plants converts to oxygen. Carbon dioxide
is the food that increases crop yields globally to feed the world. Drastic
cut backs in carbon dioxide will not only reduce crop yields worldwide,
it will also make it more difficult to purify the air we breathe. In
other words, carbon dioxide is a necessary catalyst in the creation
of the three elements we need most to live: food, air and water.

Man-instigated,
carbon dioxide-orchestrated global warming is a myth engineered in the
mid-1960s (along with carbon dioxide-created global cooling) by ecoalarmists
financed by the oil industry to curb the use, but not the escalating
cost, of—you guessed it—oil. To make drilling for deep oil economical,
the oil barons need a benchmark oil price in the $100 per barrel range.
First, to keep oil pegged at the magic threshold, the oil industry needs
to create, and maintain, an artificial shortage of the most bountiful
commodity in the world. Second, the oil industry needs to curb the human
zeal to waste it. Enter the environmentalist. Funded in part by oil
industry foundations, the environmentalists' job is to convince the
world they need to preserve the environment in its pristine state by
preventing oil drillers from disturbing the ecological balance of nature,
or nasty entrepreneurs from smelling up our cities by refining it.

The
oil industry-funded ecoalarmists like Al Gore scream for drastic cutbacks
in the use of oil, arguing that man-generated carbon fuel emissions
are causing global warming and that, in fifty to one hundred years,
greenhouse gases will convert Planet Earth into a global atrium. At
that time, the core planetary temperature will begin to rise dramatically,
melting the polar caps and raising sea levels to such a degree that
sea level Florida will become Venice-under-the-sea and several island
nations around the world will become 21st century Atlantises.

The
only problem with Gore's inconvenient truth is that it's pure, unadulterated
Chicken Little bunk. Not that global warming isn't real. It is. It just
isn't caused by you or me. It's caused by cyclic solar activity combined
with planetary greenhouse gases. In other words, blame Mother Nature
not people.

Research
on the sun's contribution to global warming was reported in the October,
2003 issue of Astronomy & Geophysics magazine. By looking at
solar activity over the last 11,000 years, British Antarctic Survey
(BAS) astrophysicist, Mark Clilverd, predicted that the sun's contribution
to global warming will decrease over the next 100 years. As you will
see, what that means is, Al Gore's inconvenient truth is a rather convenient
lie.

Throughout
the 20th century, solar flares, sunspots and geomagnetic storms, increased
in number. According to Astronomy & Geophysics, "...this rise is
simultaneous with emissions of greenhouses gases and an estimated increase
in solar heat output, which together have warmed the Earth's temperature
by a global average of 0.7 degrees centigrade. The solar contribution
to the increase is variously estimated to be around 20% leaving greenhouse
gases to make up the remaining 80%." Science Daily concluded that
Clilverd and his colleagues believe solar activity is about to peak.
Clilverd predicted there will be less solar activity in the 21st century.

Space
storms will decline by as much as two thirds according to Clilverd's
statistical research. Clilverd and his colleagues assume solar heat
output will decline accordingly. Which means when we reach mid-century,
it's likely we will begin to experience global cooling—which the ecoalarmists
will then blame on carbon fuel emissions. Science Daily reported that
"...Clilverd examined data from sun spot activity, geomagnetic storm
indices and looked at the variation of atmospheric radiocarbon derived
from studies of tree rings and marine sediments to make his predictions.
[Clilverd admitted that], 'This work is speculative and relies on the
idea that the sun shows regular cycles of activity on time scales of
10 to 10,000 years and that its heat output and activity are related...We
believe the...effect of solar activity on Earth's environmental system
will not increase in the way it has during the last century. We should
take this into account when trying to understand the impact of human
activity on our climate system.'"

Confirming
Clilverd's views was a report issued by the American Institute of
Physics from a recent study by researchers at Duke University
and the Army Research Office. Their research found new evidence
of the link between solar flare activity and the earth's temperature.
Their findings call into question the ecoalarmists' view of the influence
humans have on the temperature of our environment.

"One
of the challenges of determining the connection between solar flare
activity and the atmosphere stems from the fact that the motion of the
air that blankets our planet is turbulent and complex," the Duke
study confirms. "Sudden bursts of solar activity heat the air and
its interaction with the earth's surface." The Duke study compares
the statistical fluctuations in solar flare activity with the statistical
fluctuations of the earth's temperature. Analyses of global and local
temperature fluctuations suggest to that Earth's atmosphere directly
inherits its temperature fluctuations from the variation in solar flare
activity. As science learns to measure solar flares and sun storms better,
they will discover that solar activity will ultimately prove to be the
largest single contributing factor to cyclic global warming. Providing,
of course, that the ecoalarmists don't destroy the planet trying to
protect it from its inhabitants for the oil giants who want to conserve
what they believe is a rapidly depleting commodity—oil.

Ecoalarmists—who
have already spent billions of oil company dollars to sell the oil baron's
myth—are now prepared to spend trillions of dollars in crazy schemes
to save the world from itself before the world realizes it doesn't need
saving. In February, British billionaire Sir Richard Branson offered
a $25 million prize to the first company to develop the technology to
reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Branson, like the rest
of the world's eco-idiots, doesn't seem to understand that carbon dioxide
creates the air they breathe—providing we don't starve first from food
yields that will diminish in direct proportions to reduction in carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere. If the world doesn't stop the carbon dioxide
meddlers, what air is left on planet Earth will be devoid of oxygen
because the "food" plants consume to produce the oxygen we breathe is
the carbon dioxide the eco-idiots are trying to get rid of.

Planktos,
Inc., a Foster City, California company sent its ship, Weatherbird
II, into the Pacific Ocean last week to dump its cargo—50 tons of
iron dust on the belief that the iron dust will grow plankton which,
they believe, will begin to drink up excess carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere. The most ludicrous idea yet for reducing carbon dioxide
is planting "forests" of artificial carbon-dioxide devouring trees around
the world. These trees, acting like carbon-dioxide sponges, theoretically
will literally suck the carbon dioxide out of the air. This, of course,
will negatively impact oxygen levels since the artificial trees will
not convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen, it will simply trap and
erase it. Second, if enough carbon dioxide is removed, it could impact
crop yields globally, potentially causing food shortages followed by
cries from the ecoalarmists that they were right all along.

NASA
has just completed a $75 thousand study on the feasibility of creating
a solar sun shield. The nation's premiere ecoalarmist computer modeling
center, the National Center for Atmospheric Research—the research
arm of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research—which
is funded by some of the nation's wealthiest foundations—including the
Pew Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller
Brothers Foundation and the Carnegie Trust—conceptualized
the notion of a solar sun shield comprised of gigatons of sulfur reflectors
shot into the upper atmosphere, creating a "sunglasses" barrier between
the Earth and the sun.

While
the current concept is the brainstorm of University of Arizona astronomer
Roger Angel, the idea of using jet engines, atmospheric balloons and
cannons to get thousands of tons of sulfates into the atmosphere, Nobel
laureate Paul Crutzen and nuclear bomb creator Edward Teller proposed
the same concept after realizing that when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines
erupted 16 years ago that the sulfate particles it shot into the upper
atmosphere cooled the whole world for about a year. The project would
cost trillions of dollars with little hope of success. According to
scientists at the Center for Atmospheric Research, tens of thousands
of tons of sulfates—equivalent to a volcanic eruption—would have to
be shot into the upper atmosphere every month.

Perhaps
the most effective solution to global warming is simply taking the computers
away from the eco-idiots, regulating oil prices by establishing a ceiling
on oil prices at $40 to $50 per barrel, and locking up oil company executives
who finance eco-terrorism as an excuse to raise oil prices.
